If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart—painted, as Paul said, “not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.”

Elder Hinckley: We have always had a modern technology. The world has not recognized it but it is there, and this is the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Of course, we have need for and are constantly developing aids to better assist missionaries in their work, but in the last analysis missionary work is a matter of looking a man in the eye and bearing testimony out of the heart. That testimony can be conveyed by the Spirit on a heart-to-heart basis. That is the real conversion process. There will be new ways to teach, there will be new ways to find people, but the conversion will come through the power of the Spirit on the part of him who testifies and in the heart of him who listens. A person knows by the witness of the Spirit that the gospel is true. It is the only way he knows. That has always been the case. It always will be the case. That is the sum and substance of the whole missionary process. “The things of God are understood by the Spirit of God.” June, 1973

Last week we had stake conference for the Holiday South Stake. Elder Allen, a visiting authority, presided and involved our young Elders in his presentation about missionary work. As a result of his inspired leadership our Elders now have thirty appointments scheduled over the next two weeks.

This is Chip and Della. We attended the Oquirrh Mountain temple last Friday the 12th of June where Chip received his endowment. Chip is a recent convert and has been making steady progress as he has taken essential steps since his baptism to attend the temple.
